Apparently 3504250.tif is outside the specified region. grdimage produces an empty plot with a color bar, but see the corrections below (the plot and plotting command not shown).
grdcontour crashes with the specified region (plots normally with the region defined by the grid):
gmt grdcontour -Jx1:10000 -R505000/508000/5250000/5252000 3504250.tif -B -png test-grdcontour

Correction, it was a semi-valid color bar stretching from zero to approx 905, while gmt grdinfo 3504250.tif -R505000/508000/5250000/5252000 gives v_min: 717.440002441 v_max: 906.679992676 name: z
Another correction, the grid is not completely outside the region, one data column is included, more from the above mentioned gmt grdinfo:
3504250.tif: x_min: 504999.5 x_max: 505000.5 x_inc: 1 name: x n_columns: 1
3504250.tif: y_min: 5249999.5 y_max: 5251000.5 y_inc: 1 name: y n_rows: 1001
3504250.tif: v_min: 717.440002441 v_max: 906.679992676 name: z
with -R504999/... it’s two data columns and grdcontour is not crashing anymore:
gmt grdinfo 3504250.tif -R504999/508000/5250000/5252000
...
